Like you I wasn't keen on EXECUTE-PARSING but have come to accept it 
(but still don't like the name). I think it has always been written in 
standard ANS Forth. You can't compare it directly with :NAME because 
EXECUTE-PARSING is a more general word. It can be used to perform the 
same function as :NAME but has additional uses, for a trivial example 
see my post

Well then you have no right to speculate about whether it is defined in 
ANS Forth or not

As EXECUTE-PARSING is a more general word why should it? It is trivial 
to put wrapper around it to set a compilation wordlist, call 
EXECUTE-PARSING, and restore the original wordlist.
